Talk:Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)

Differences between fairytale and film

I removed this section because 1) it is completely uncited, 2) if it were cited, it should go in to the film article, and 3) it is a list of miscellaneous information. Cactusjump (talk) 22:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Princess aurora should be Ukrainian or Russian al.Le its origins are obvious as the story originates from the French perrault but the classic work was written by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and the setting is undoubtedly a landscape of Eastern Europe

Inconsistent Creator Credits

On this article under the photo of Aurora, the Brothers Grimm are given credit for creating this character. If one looks at the articles, though, for both Sleeping Beauty and the 1959 film by Disney, Charles Perrault is credited. Perrault's narrative is outlined in the first article and is used as a reference point for the other variants. It even states that the Brothers Grimm almost did not include the story in their collection (they did so in consideration of the existence of Brynhild). Perrault is acknowledged as the original fairy tale writer in the credits for the film by Disney, including a statement that Disney used Perrault and Tchaikovsky's symphony to create the film. The only possible reason that the Brothers Grimm are considered to be the creators is in the first article where it states the Brothers Grimm story was called Briar Rose. Perrault, though, used the name Aurora for the daughter of Sleeping Beauty. Disney chose to use both names for the character in the film. If there are other articles in Wikipedia that credit Charles Perrault's involvement in this character, then he needs at least to be added as a creator on this article in addition to the Brothers Grimm if not made the only creator.

Cinderella and Aurora photos

Now that Cinderella is being shown in her original dress colors here on Wikipedia I think Aurora should be shown in the colors she was advertised in. On her page at Disney wikia, she is wearing a blue dress. That was the color of the dress she had for most of her original film and it's even the color of her dress in the Kingdom Hearts series. She was also originally advertised wearing blue. Look at these VHS tapes. [1] [2] Plus, there are these theatrical release posters. [3] [4] She also used to wear it in Disney parks. Heck at the El Capitan Theatre in 2008, she is even advertised wearing blue in the marquee. [5] If we are instead going to base it on the colors, they are being advertised in now, then Cinderella's dress should not be silvery white if Aurora's is pink.

I visited Aurora's photo page and I noticed the drama that was going on. I saw the drama that was happening and you have very good points. A few months ago, Disney's official fan club, D23, even did a poll and they voted that the dress should actually be blue. So, I do believe that we should show her in her blue dress.

Reviewer: Zanimum (talk · contribs) 22:04, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

I'll start to review this tonight, and try and post tomorrow. I'm the one who reviewed Belle (2012), reviewed Rapunzel (2013), and reviewed Mulan (2014). (I'm amazed these were so long ago.) -- Zanimum (talk) 22:04, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Pleasure to be collaborating with you again, and I look forward to your comments :-)--Changedforbetter (talk) 01:33, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

So, I've been working on cleaning up references, and replacing some references with less derivative sources. For now, here are some comments for the "Miscellaneous" section:

Miscellaneous

• All of these seem to be video games. As such, the name seems a little errant. I'd suggest either renaming the section, or adding info about other uses of the character.
• You talk about theme parks in other articles, what about Sleeping Beauty Castle? (The character is only referenced in Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant, whereas she's in the dioramas at California and Paris.)
• What about Whisker Haven and the Palace Pets app and the character Dreamy?
• Kilala Princess shouldn't be talked about at any length, but it might deserve a sentence.
• Is there any way to add references for the video games?

More later. -- Zanimum (talk) 18:04, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

In a 1997 interview with The Globe and Mail, Costa is listed as being paid $250 a week, not $100 a day. I can't find any reliable sources backing up the $100 claim. Can you find where TheRichest would have sourced this to? (I've added the same G&M article for another citation.) -- Zanimum (talk) 21:48, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

• @ZanimumConcerns addressed. Edited and sourced video games paragraph in "Miscellaneous", as well as expanded section to include some of Aurora's popular sightings at the Disney Parks.--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:49, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
• Done. Simply replaced TheRichest reference with the more reliable one you provided :-)--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:52, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Review abandoned

As has unfortunately been the case with several recent reviews by Zanimum, this review has been left untouched for too long—basically abandoned—even though Zanimum was warned on his or her talk page at the outset that this practice was not acceptable and would not be allowed to continue. Changedforbetter has requested that another reviewer be found, so the nomination has been returned to the GAN pool to find a different reviewer. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:32, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Grabbing this for review, shortly. - adamstom97 (talk) 11:41, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I see that this article was reviewed once before, but it didn't go anywhere due to lack of involvement on the reviewers part. I intend to see this through, and, in fact, I think this is a pretty great article. My only major issue with it is the references; all web references should be archived, so that they can be used whether the source exists or not. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:35, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Okay, it looks like that has been addressed, so I'm going to go ahead and promote this now. Well done. Passed - adamstom97 (talk) 23:47, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Haha well this has been just about the easiest GA I've ever taken part in. Thanks!--Changedforbetter (talk) 03:48, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

About the Main Image

For the record, I prefer seeing Aurora in her dress being pink rather than blue.Esagurton (talk) 08:31, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Requested move 22 April 2021

Aurora (Disney) → Sleeping Beauty (Disney character) – This is the name most people know the character by. Because "Sleeping Beauty (Disney) can equally mean the film; it's not a strong enough dis-ambiguator. Georgia guy (talk) 13:22, 22 April 2021 (UTC) Georgia guy (talk) 13:22, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose - There are plenty of sources that use the name Aurora in the name. Interstellarity (talk) 15:19, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose Princess Aurora is the credited name of the character in the film, not Sleeping Beauty. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:19, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose Slepping Beauty is the name of the film, not about a Disney princess, which is named Princess Aurora. There is a case where the title of the film is different from the characters, for example The Little Mermaid, which is the title of the film, not a disney princess name, or Frozen, which also not a Disney princess either but Anna and Elsa are a princess. 36.77.95.2 (talk) 16:39, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
